This PR provides an initial implementation of name resolution for guard patterns (RFC 3637). This does not change the requirement that the bindings on either side of an or-pattern must be the same (proposal here); the code that handles that is separate from what this PR touches, so I'm saving it for a follow-up.
On a technical level, this separates "collecting the bindings in a pattern" (which was already done for or-patterns) from "introducing those bindings into scope". I believe the approach used here can be extended straightforwardly in the future to work with
if let
guard patterns, but I haven't tried it myself since we don't allow those yet.Tracking issue for guard patterns: #129967
